My Briggs goes 5 months without running. I plan for it to be low on gas at the end of the year. I run it out of gas. Change the oil. Push it in the shed. I put fresh gas in it in the spring and it fires right up.

I've been running everything(vehicles & OPE) on E10. I use Sta-Bil in the Firebird in my sig & my OPE and keep the gas full during storage. I also keep my fuel containers fresh & with E10. I don't have any issues using E10 as many others seem too.

Even my '80 Firebird FORMULA(purchased new) has only used E10 since we got it here in NY State. Never an issue!

I sharpen the blade so it is ready for next year, change the oil, put a double dose of sta-bil in it, and fill the tank to the top with e-0, which it gets all season, and put it away. Just yesterday I got out my snowblower, which I stored that way last spring, and it fired up on the first pull.

I dose fresh gas with blue Stabil and a good shot of MMO. Then I run it until its warmed up, fog it, change the oil and put it away until spring. It will start on the first pull if I allow it. Typically I pull the cord a few times to splash oil around before the first start of the spring mowing season.

I run the Honda dry after vacuuming the last of the leaves in Dec. then change oil (M1 0W-40), air filter and swap on the sharp set of blades when Iím looking for something to do in the depths of winter. Fresh gas wakes it right up come spring.

My MTD built Cub Cadet with the Powermore engine that I bought new in 2008 gets very little attention. First few winters I would just park it with what ever gas was left in it. A few pulls in the spring and it would run and get fresh gas as needed. One or two years I actually ran it dry for winter. Fresh gas and a few pulls and it ran fine in the spring. The last 2 or so years I have added stabil to all my fuel and that's what it gets. A few pulls and it runs fine in the spring.

My equipment gets parked in mid September and come out in May. I don't fog or do anything special. I also don't run HDEO, straight weights and the thing still runs.
